Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 27, 2014 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

SOme 1990's dance techno band did a cover of that Elton John song. I never knew it saw "Grey Seal". I thought is was "Graciele" like a woman's name, that we do not have in the US.

I've noticed NOBODY retains the intensity of their youthful playing. They may get better, but something gets lost as they mature (the Reggie Dwight brought that to mind, but I type slow since I'm driving)

Dean: My first exposure to TH was via More Songs... The experience was similar yours on '77, having heard Take Me To The River and not hearing that on the rest of the album. Still, I'd keep playing what I bought and it grew on me.

was wondering how you were going to smoothly transition out of Real Me--impressive.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:20pm
Uncle Michael:

Interesting idea, lane. I hear that said of songwriters but not often about players. I'd have to think about that.
  12:21pm
Dean:

I think my displeasure with TH was part of a larger, uh, transformation. I wearied of rock as the '80s commenced. I love, love, love Byrne & Eno's Bush of Ghosts, but can barely stomach anything else from either of them.

There are times when I wish there had been a marital crisis in the Talking Heads rhythm section around, oh, Fear of Music or so, and I were a strong-shouldered bass tech ready to pick up the pieces.

Dean, I think even Nina lost a reckless edge. But she never had it like Elton, Buck, nearly every player, or especially Paycheck. He wasn't worth a damn after 71

In '77 or '78, I put 5 tracks from TH '77 on a mix tape, or bigger chunks tape, along with most of Countdown to Ecstasy, several Abraxas tracks, and five from Pousette Dart's Amnesia. That cassette is in my hand. Am I Time Capsule King today (after Uncle Michael)?

Nü-Mission of Burma not to my years less intensely played than old-Mission of Burma (although the old songs are better). Also Fugazi's playing got fiercer with each record.

ESPECIALLY players, UM. Buddy is a case in point. As he gained perspective, he lost reckless. Or look at Lloyd (especially on the Little Darlin paychecks). Gain maturity, lose attitude.

"Brandy" -- and all the teen girls who sang it aloud -- drove me nuts in its day, though I sing it when it comes on the vehicle radio today. Recently had a conversation about what period the song is set in. I said 19th century, for no defensible reason.

@still b/p The nautical theme and the fact that one had to be told stories of the sea makes one think it's in a pre-mass communications era, IMO.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm

"Brandy" would probably be a respectable song if it were sung by some grizzled old country veteran, without all those "doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo" backup singers.

Blancmange! Well done.

Mike East, I wouldn't worry about it. While I don't usually get as recklessly intense, I can still convey the attitudes and sentiments that the song calls for, and I can do it better.

I first heard of Cheap Trick when I was a kid in St. Louis Missouri, and one Saturday, I was watching Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, and Don Kirshner's son got to introduce Cheap Trick saying: "And now, for the first time on American Television, we introduce Cheap Trick".

I just looked up mine. For May 31, 1964, it was Chapel of Love by the Dixie Cups.

This song reminds me of going to some land my parents owned - had a small cabin with a large radio from a WW II ship - and this was playing - not an oldie then

Send not to know for whom the bell tolled, Brian Wilson, it tolled for thee.

Blackwell had a link to one of SoCal's best record stores, Zed Records in Long Beach. Owner Michael Zampeli's brother, Danny Holloway, worked for Blackwell and fed his brother tips about upcoming British acts, e.g., the Sex Pistols. Great store.

This is mixed strangely. The vocals are all in the left ear, and everything else is in the right ear, If you want to do karaoke. just un plug the right speaker. Oka, the organ is in the middle now

I mean the left speaker!
